Did you know that dogs and cats can develop behaviors in
their old age that are the same as dementia in humans? We know that we (humans) are prone to
cognitive impairment as we age and that it affects our memory, attention,
problem solving, and language. We also
can suffer from disorientation as the condition progresses. Alzheimer’s disease is one form of dementia
in people and some of the brain lesions that are found in human Alzheimer’s
patients are the same type as we see in our pets.
